Environment Control

We could not be happier with our yard! Phil came out and listened to our vision, outlined in with virtual software, and edited it until it was perfect. When it came time to select the products, they helped us narrow down the choices (which helped us not to be totally overwhelmed) but ultimately we had the final say in choosing the finishes. The highest praise goes to their level of communication. Prior to construction, Phil kept us updated and aware of timelines. Then the foreman was in constant communication during the construction phase; even sending us photos to show progress while we were at work and asking us for placement specifications. We have been very pleased with the outcome and often get compliments from neighbors and those who visit. We highly recommend Environment Control!!!

We couldn’t have picked a better company to do our landscaping! Our backyard was complete dirt and Environment Control did a total transformation. I would highly recommend!

What started out as a small project to move a fence and gate to make room for a new shed, became a makeover that turned unused space into our new backyard retreat. We met with Phil Evans to take thoughts and ideas and turn them into possibilities. After several meetings of adds, take aways and changes that included new vegetable boxes, turf area, moving citrus trees, a slate walkway with a retreat area and firepit area, a dry river bed, and an appreciation for Phil’s patience, the work began. Our foreman, Mike was beyond professional. He communicated with us personally through every step of the project making sure that what happened next was what we had envisioned. His crew added to making the experience a pleasure to come home each day and see the major changes they had made, but they also included the little things, like cleaning up existing planters, and moving keystones when we asked without hesitation. We are in construction and have a great appreciation for a company that keeps the task at hand “on time and on budget” along with true professionalism. Environment Control exceeds those expectations.

When our wooden wall washed out a few months ago during a major winter storm, we were faced with a project we had neither planned to do at the time, nor did we have any idea how to approach a solution. The problem was not just the wall that had collapsed on us, but that every year a kind of waterfall would come down the hill above us gushing between the wooden wall and a concrete wall next to it. It was a drainage nightmare, one which we had no idea how to address. After talking with three companies that seemed able to do this work, we decided on Environment Control. Phil Evans, Director of Landscape Services, had clear ideas of what was needed and was willing to work with us on a proposal that would create a French drain to gather the waters, and direct it to an existing lower drain, ultimately to funnel out to the adjacent field. Environment Control’s attention to detail was impressive, as was their interest in our thoughts and ideas. The workers were happy to answer our questions and implement our requests as the project progressed. And when they took several days longer than had originally been scheduled (we weren't under a deadline to complete the project), they didn’t add to the labor cost of the work and honored the original bid. As a bonus, one of the workers added new shredded bark to make the landscape areas look new again. In the end, we have two beautiful walls and a solution to a drainage problem that has plagued us since we moved here 14 years ago. We highly recommend Environment Control.
